Three invitational tournaments made up the team's regular sea- son of golfing They included the Highmore Invitational, the Faulkton Invitational, and the Phillip Invita- tional which was played in Pierre The Regional Tournament at the Meadowbrook Country Club in Rapid City was attended by the whole team The top two-thirds of region participants advanced to the State tourney which was also held on the Meadowbrook course At Regionals. Rod Klebsch.

Many were skeptical about the season the Pirates faced due to the fact that they only had three returning lettermen Henry Bucholz. Jerry Selchert. and Dan Lusk The team began the season un- der the leadership of a new head coach. Steve Selchert. He was as- sisted by Roger Edwards who has been the assistant boys' basket- ball coach for the past seven years The lack of varsity exper- ience provided for a teamwork - coaching challenge The Pirates entered the Jones County Tournament in mid-Janu- ary and were defeated in the first two rounds In the final game, the Pirates rolled over Gregory to place seventh Lusk was placed on the second all-tourney team for his efforts The final victory of the tourney got the team rolling and they defeated such rivals as Gettysburg. Miller. Chamberlain, and Wessington Springs before Hoven put an end to their winning streak by defeating the Pirates 67- 62 For the first year, the teams in each district were seeded rather than having to draw for position The Pirates earned the second seed They entered the tourney and played the Harrold Cardinals in first round action, winning by a score of 84-67. Proceeding to the semi-finals. Highmore easily outs- cored the SBA Crusaders 75-64 to advance to the championship game The Pirates squared off against the number one seeded Chiefs from Iroquois The game was close the whole time, but Iro- quois emerged victoriously 70-60. Due to the new rules of the South Dakota High School Athletic Association, the second place team from each district could venture on into regional competi- tion. therefore, the Pirates headed for the Huron Arena and Region 3B. The team met Northwestern, the champions of their district, and played thirty-two minutes of in- tense basketball only to fall short with a score of 63-61 In the con- solation game, the Pirates once again played Iroquois and were defeated 74-67. The Pirates competed in the Lit- tle Central Athelic Conference and tied for first place They were in the Central Conference in which they tied for second, and also placed fourth in the North Central Conference Bucholz and Lusk made the all-conference team in all three conferences and Jerry Selchert earned an honorable mention in the NCAC ABOVE RIGHT: Henry Bucholz shows his form as he shoots a free throw RIGHT: FRONT: P Krtber.

The young Pirates, made up of three juniors, five sophomores, and four freshmen, compiled a record of 10-6. One of the more exciting games the JV team played was against Mobridge. After three quarters of play, the Pirates led the Tigers 59-27 and the road to victory seemed to have been paved. Bruce Bucholz and Scott Spronk were taken out of the game after the third quarter so they would be elgible to play three quarters of the varsity game. The Tigers outscored the Pirates 28-8 in the fourth quarter to cut the Pirates lead to 67-65 at the final buzzer. The young Pirates were sparked by a twenty-two point performance by Bruce Bu- cholz. The Pirates competed in a JV tournament held in Gettysburg in January. Three other teams par- ticipated in the competition: Gettysburg, Selby, and Onida The Pirates defeated Gettysburg in the first round 55-51 and ad- vanced to the championship game against Selby. The Pirates were overpowered by the Lions 69-27 and brought home the run- ner-up trophy. One of the purposes of the JV team was to get experience be- fore moving up to varsity compe- tition. In addition, they represent- ed the upcoming opponents by setting up the opponent's of- fenses and defenses for the varsi- ty.

The American history students have spent the year learning how America was developed into a country. As a special pro- ject the class made videos on colonial groups. World history students were required to make models of medieval life-such as castles, catapults, monarchs, and battering rams. World histo- ry is required in the freshman or sophomore year The main project of the psy- chology class, which was head- ed by Mr Steve Selchert. was a tour of the Mental Institute in Redtield.

The biology students made plant collections and dissected earthworms, crayfish, starfish, frogs, squids, and cow eyes. They also studied the cell, genetics, survey of plant and animal king- doms. and the systems of the hu- man body. Physics students spent the year by being educated about scien- New Lab Is Gained tific notation, vectors, laws of motion, work and energy, and heat Some other areas covered were gas laws, reflection and re- fraction, and magnetic fields An addition to the science de- partment this year was the con- struction of a new science lab. It was installed in the old typing room. Construction crews began at the end of the school year and worked through the summer, completing the project in August Miss Julie Leier taught physicc science Students learned basu science and spent time in th new lab doing various activities Mrs. Sally Whiting instructed c of the math classes Her classe consisted of Algebra I. advancet business math, geometry. Alge bra II. and trigonometry. Thes courses taught the students sev eral operations of numbers an the science of numbers. 64 SCIENCE AND MATH COMPUTERS Challenges Met The computer curriculum in Highmore consisted of two levels, the Computers I and Computers II. Computers II was basically an extension of Computers I with the type of information being of in- creased difficulty. Students were allowed to go at their own pace so it was basically their decision to decide when they were ready for newer and harder material. When starting in Computers I, the student was usually placed on a PET or CBM computer unless they had previous computer ex- perience The experienced peo- ple were put on the more popular Apple computers. On the PET or CBM, students learned BASIC lan- guage commands. After going through many programs, many of which were original, the students were required to take a test over the material they covered. Highmore had some advanced programs for the four Apple com- puters. Among these was Appleworks—a word processing, data base, and spreadsheet pro- gram—that offered several pos- siblities for its uses. Anything from a book report to yearly budget could be produced and molded to the student's preference Print Shop was another program that Highmore had in it's possession. Print Shop allowed the students to print signs, banners, cards, and letter heads, complete with the student's choice of graphic de- sign and writing style. Apple Logo and Terapin were two other pro- grams used. Four classes of com- puters were taught by Mrs. Shar- on Baloun. UPPER LEFT: Jodi McDonnell. Jackie Ditt- mon. Jon Selcherf.

Mrs. Gloria Haiwick was in charge of Home Ec. I, A Place to Live. Cuisine. Clothing Cents, and Bean Bags and Baby Bottles. Miss Julie Leier taught Vo-Ag I, Vo-Ag II. Vo-Ag III. and Vo-Ag IV. Home Ec.
